The resident does not support the requests related to shipping <br />containers as they do not meet the architectural requirements of the City. The resident expressed <br />concern that if this case and the previous case were approved, the City will continue to see these <br />types of requests. <br /> <br />Commission Business <br /> <br />Commissioner VanScoy stated that he would have difficulty supporting this request without <br />screening and in the current locations related to setback. He believed that the City should review <br />these uses on a more long-term consideration. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gengler commented that she would rather see the container on the far side remain <br />on that side as it would be less visible from the retail center. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove commented that this is a unique situation as this is currently an <br />industrial area, but the use will potentially change in the coming years. She did not want to be too <br />onerous on the business to plant trees that may be removed when the site redevelops. She stated <br />that she would support the use of the containers rather than having the items stored outdoors. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson commented that this property can be seen from the entrance ramp onto <br />Highway 10. He stated that these containers are not aesthetically pleasing. He commented that <br />he would like to see the business able to function but would like to see the site cleaned up.
